A US Navy warship operating in the Middle East intercepted multiple projectiles near the coast of Yemen on Thursday, two US officials told CNN.
One of the officials said the missiles were fired by Iranian-backed Houthi militants, who are engaged in an ongoing conflict in Yemen. Approximately 2-3 missiles were intercepted, according to the second official.
The officials said it was unclear what the missiles were targeting. It’s possible the missiles were fired at the USS Carney or launched towards another target.

You are exactly correct!
Good summary...
So you’re a bull shit artist and a key board tough guy to boot.
We had problems with Yemen for a while... remember Imam and IQAP terrorist Anwar al Aulaqi/am Awlaki, who was a key figure in most of the major terrorist cells in the US, inspiring the underwear bomber, the Ft Hood shooter, etc.
And you? You’re just a low discernment, braindead little twit. GFY.

The entire classification system needs reformed.
It is over used and abused.
The classification system has become a way to avoid public scrutiny or even culpability.
If the public don’t know, you can basically lead them around like fools and that has become standard MO.
They keep trying to make contact but I blocked phones/E-Mails/ignore cards and letters/don't do fazecrook or any of the other socialist media propaganda sites.
Thanks. I still have not seen much more info.
BTW, that was supposed to be “location”. ;-)

I’m in total agreement.
Is this a “first”? (US intercepting a weapon fired at Israel.)
Possibly, the first time we, as well as the missile launchers knew.
The same data comes from an interesting site, VOA!
Yes, Iran has been spoiling for a naval engagement for a long, long time. They really want to sink US Navy ships, especially damaging or sinking an air craft carrier.
They built a scale model of a US carrier and have filmed attacks on it to show on television to prove how strong they are.
I think that those that don’t learn the lessons of history are condemned to repeat them. In particular, Iran did not learn the lessons of history during Operation Praying Mantis. This was an attack on 18 April 1988 by the United States Armed Forces within Iranian territorial waters in retaliation for the Iranian naval mining of international waters in the Persian Gulf during the Iran–Iraq War and the subsequent damage to an American warship.
Perhaps it is time for the US military to remind Iran of what happens when they damage US Navy warships.
